Geraint Thomas of Great Britain and Team SKY climbs with his team at the front of the peloton during the Tour de France

Talking to ITV 4 after stage 20 of the Tour de France, Luke Rowe said that he would be riding the Tour of Britain alongside his teammates and that they hoped to win the race.

Rowe revealed that, as Welshmen, he and Thomas were excited about the race finishing in Cardiff for the first time.

Thomas won the first stage of the 2017 Tour de France and wore the yellow jersey before crashing out. Meanwhile, Rowe helped Chris Froome to win the grand tour and finished as the last man in the race, the fabled lanterne rouge.
